My VSF endlinks. Doesn't look so rounded to me...

Step is missing as previously shown.

This is two views of the top. The bottom is a little more uneven in regard to recession, but it's defined in the middle of the endlink like this is.

any comment to fix, have new spring bars which I will try first.

How can new springbar fix a sel gap?
U could try tape on the inside of the sel. At least there will be no play and the Gap is not that obvious.

TimeWizard he another shot

Carrick1 it doesn't look horrible to me, might not be that noticable on the wrist. I think the vsf quality is a little bad right now. It might be "old stock" or whatever, but looking at the recent qc, if you want top quality, you may have to wait for the factory to reopen.

Beefcake it’s just certain angles, I think it a slight dip on the edge of the bracelet

I've been trying to check this thread at least once per day for a couple months now, but don't recall seeing anyone post pics of a gen crystal on their 126610? I saw a couple people saying that they were in the process of buying the crystal, but don't think I've seen any pics of any?

I have seen some mods on the movement it self with gen parts, but i haven’t crystal mod or hands. Maybe we are looking in the wrong spot.

Maybe because the VSF xtal is very good already. But tze biggest issue is, that there are not a lot of 126.... Parts sold online.

I have seen a couple sale but I’m not sure there’s much advantage (if any) since the vsf crystal is so good.

The VSF crystal is good but not the cyclops

I remember reading that the ARF bracelet was better than the VSF. Anyone who can confirm?

VSF 126610LN is such a beauty when you get a really good piece.

It's marginal, but yes ARF is superior, ARF make a lot of products better than most, and bracelets are one of them. Clean factory actually use ARF and so do many others. But the difference is maybe... 2-5% better.

I see, marginal indeed. Thanks for the answer

 

[Time_Wizard]

What would you guys say which one is better: Stock VSF xtal or Prof xtal?

Do you know if the arf bracelet is compatible with the vsf? Sorry if this is a stupid question. My sels are pretty bad, so I want to switch them out, but if the bracelet is better in general, might as well do the whole thing and not just the sels.
